that's like saying that any dj's set is pre-programmed by the records

he
stated that he
can cut & past his set how he wants it on the plane before he turns up.
so it is pre-programmed :(
i think you misunderstood the quote a bit. all he does is the digital
equivalent of organizing his crates. reviewing tracks and choosing some
that he might like to play based on the venue, city, night, weather...
this is no different than organizing your records before going on,
grouping them in certain ways, noting things that you especially want to
play. something every dj does. FS doesn't do anything toward djing
'for you'. it's the exact same experience/skill, only choosing tracks
is done with a few keystrokes instead of shuffling through crates.
